Then who could it be?
Su Yunjin fell into deep thought.
Gu Ya was frowning in contemplation as well.
The room was eerily quiet for a moment.
Soon, Su Yunjin thought of another possibility. Could it be that the medicine Mrs. An gave to Little Tiangua was poisonous in itself? If so, this matter is terrifying. Who would poison a baby just two months old? The more Su Yunjin thought about it, the more scared she felt.
“Mother, where is the medicine you prepared for Little Tiangua? Take it out and let me see.” Gu Ya and Su Yunjin had the same thought; since no one had tampered with the medicine, it was likely the medicine itself was problematic. To find out who poisoned it, they would have to investigate the medicine itself. Now, he wanted his mother to bring out the remaining medicine, and he would take it to the pharmacy to ask the doctor if it contained any poisonous ingredients.
Mrs. An had only prepared one dose of medicine for Little Tiangua, and after it’s been boiled, none was left at all. As for the dregs, Mrs. An had already thrown them away. When Gu Ya asked to see it, Mrs. An couldn’t produce it, “Old Third, that medicine… that medicine, I don’t have it here.” Mrs. An couldn’t provide it, and Mrs. Chu instinctively blurted out, “Third Brother, what should we do now?”
“Right, I remembered, I still have the prescription.” Mrs. Zhang had written the prescription for Mrs. An, who had thought it was valuable and could be used again later. So, after preparing the medicine for Little Tiangua, Mrs. An carefully kept the prescription. Gu Ya wanted to check if the medicine contained any poisonous ingredients; having the prescription would be even better, and he immediately asked Mrs. An to bring it out, “Where’s the prescription? Take it out so I can look at it.”
Mrs. An had locked the prescription in the cupboard in her room. Taking out the key, Mrs. An said, “Old Third, wait a moment, I’ll go get the prescription for you now.”
Opening the wooden box, Mrs. An found the neatly folded prescription at the bottom and handed it to Gu Ya, “Here it is, Old Third, look, this is the prescription I used for Little Tiangua.”
Gu Ya was not versed in medicine, and the herbs listed in the prescription were unknown to him. Glancing at the prescription, he planned to keep it and go to town to consult a doctor.
But at this moment, Su Yunjin reached out her hand.
“Husband, let me take a look at the prescription.” While Gu Ya didn’t know medicine, Su Yunjin did. She was familiar with the effectiveness of common herbs.
With the prescription in hand, Su Yunjin only needed to glance at it to determine if it contained any poison. Since his young wife wanted to see it, Gu Ya casually handed it over to her.
Su Yunjin took the prescription. The first few herbs were common cough remedies and posed no problem. Her gaze landed on the last herb, “Mulberry vine branches?” What is this? Su Yunjin had never heard of this name before. Could this be the poison? Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novᴇlfire.net
Su Yunjin pondered silently.
Gu Ya, at this moment, asked Mrs. An about the origin of the prescription, “Mother, who did you get this prescription from?” If this prescription was indeed problematic, the doctor who prescribed it definitely couldn’t escape suspicion. Gu Ya planned to capture the doctor who wrote it immediately.
“This…?” Mrs. An didn’t dare to answer Gu Ya’s question, her face full of hesitation. She had received the prescription from two girls Gu Changshun brought back that day, as a folk remedy, and Mrs. An feared she would be blamed by Gu Ya if she spoke of it. Stammering, Mrs. An tried to find an excuse to muddle through.
Gu Ya did not give her such an opportunity, persistently asking again, “Mother, where exactly did this prescription come from?”
